their only worth is they are cheaper as a set than stock left control should you have to replace it due to clutch switch failure.

I wouldn't say they are worth the Harley-Tax BUT they help when you cant see the controls and its pitch black...

I scored mine at 40% OFF in a dealer closing sale

my ladies street bob loses its d&t regular and has done since ownership…never touch the battery and our bikes live on optimates when not in use

Does background and eq change also? (wondering if your constant 12v wire is to blame)
When I plugged mine in, for the first time, the date and time were already set. Volunteer Audio must have set it up, when they pre-updated the unit for me.

I did fail to mention that my RF amp, has female RCA out cables. This conflicted with the RCA female out on the radio. So, a male to male adapter is needed. Luckily, I already had the adapters for the connection to my BT355's

I can’t say for sure as I haven’t ridden at night with it yet. I more so added them for volume controls. I think they will be bright enough at night but just can’t say for sure. I have to get a couple of other things working that I lost when I switched from the police controls.

I can tell you the lighted controls are great if you're riding at night or predawn hours. Easy to see, no guessing. I feel it was money well spent, but if you rarely ride at night or early morning hours you may have a different opinion.

I looked through the manual, and haven't been able to find the dimensions. Will this fit into a standard double din opening?

@FLHTPatrick

Dig through this post, I know they mentioned having to switch a wire around to get the horn to work. I know I switched one under my seat and the horn works with the new lit hand controls. I can look through the wiring diagrams later to see if I can figure out which one I switched (it's probably the same but I did it before reading that post).

I think they also mentioned adding the passing lamps to the accessory switch that would be below the radio, which I just noticed you don't have any.
